Using Greybox instead of Lightbox

Post by norman »

It is possible to use Greybox (http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/) instead of Lightbox.

Install LightBox as usual. Test that it's working.

Then get the Greybox files from the attachment link at the bottom of this post.

Unzip these files into your Site, DesignPreviewHTML and PreviewHTML folders.

Edit your overall layout and replace the lines

Code: Select all

	<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lightbox.js"></script>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
with

Code: Select all

	<script type="text/javascript">
		var GB_ROOT_DIR = "<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e" >.</actinic:block>./";
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="AJS.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="AJS_fx.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="gb_scripts.js"></script>
	<link href="gb_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
	<!-- Actinic specific fixes -->
	<script type="text/javascript>
	function afterpageload(){<actinic:variable name="OnLoadScript" value="PreloadImages" />}
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript">AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {afterpageload()});</script>
Also replace the line

Code: Select all

<body onload="<actinic:variable value="PreloadImages" name="OnLoadScript" />">
with

Code: Select all

<body>
Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Lightbox Images and edit layouts Lightbox Image List and Fragment Lightbox Image List and change the fragment (about line 92 - don't alter the rest of the line)

rel=\"lightbox[$ProductAnchor]\"

to

rel=\"gb_imageset[$ProductAnchor]\"

Finally, go to Design / Additional file and add the file "loader_frame.html".

Note that Lightbox is the supported add-on and that I cannot provide the same level of support for Greybox.
